From: Dried blood spots as a source of anti-malarial antibodies for epidemiological studies
Recovery of antibodies from blood spots and plasma in field studies. Paired sets of serum and blood spots collected in Lower Moshi, Tanzania were collected and assayed for antibodies to MSP-119 (a) and MSP-2 (b). The straight lines represent the least squares best fit; the curved dashed lines represent the least squares best fit lines where the recovery has been allowed to vary, giving a mean recovery of 71% for MSP-119 and 58% for MSP-2.
